COMPOSE AND CONTROL

Capturing fast action is easy with the interactive 2.36 million-dot LCD EVF. It features a smooth 120 fps refresh rate with a 5 millisecond response time that’s imperceptible to the human eye. For superior control, there are four AF target modes: All Point, Single Point, 5-Point Cross, and 9-Point Group. Precision C-AF Tracking and the subject-tracking Cluster Display simplify focusing on moving subjects. And the AF Targeting Pad function lets you move the focus point by touching the LCD monitor with your thumb while composing shots through the viewfinder.

OUTSTANDING IMAGE QUALITY

The new 20 MP Live MOS Sensor features an Anti-Reflective Coating on both sides of the sealed cover glass to reduce flare, and its high-speed design captures distortion-free images of moving subjects that are rich in color and detail. It works simultaneously with the new dual quad-core TruePic™ VIII Image Processor that boasts four CPU cores, four image processing cores, and a dedicated AF calculation circuit to easily power the E-M1 Mark II’s blazing sequential shooting and autofocus speeds.

WORLD’S MOST EFFECTIVE IMAGE STABILIZATION*

The advanced 5-Axis Image Stabilization compensates for all types of camera motion to provide up to 5.5 shutter speed steps of compensation for crisp images. When paired with a M.Zuiko PRO lens that features in-lens stabilization, 5-Axis Sync IS provides up to 6.5 shutter speed steps, the world’s most effective stabilization performance*. Capture blur-free shots at longer shutter speeds of up to 2 seconds, no tripod required.

LAG-FREE PHOTOGRAPHY

Capturing the best moments can be difficult, especially when your subject is in motion. Pro Capture Mode ensures you’ll catch the exact moment you want without any lag. Pro Capture uses the silent electronic shutter to start buffering a running series of full resolution JPEG / RAW images when you press the shutter release button halfway. Then, fully press the shutter release to capture an image plus the 14 previous frames all at once. You can keep the shutter release fully depressed to continue sequential shooting. With its time machine-like capability, Pro Capture always has the perfect shot stored and ready to save.

50 MEGAPIXEL HIGH RES SHOT

The E-M1 Mark II’s High Res Shot Mode creates incredibly sharp images with resolution that exceeds that of many full-frame DSLRs. It automatically captures 8 consecutive shots in one second, then composites the images into one ultra-high resolution shot. The advanced TruePic™ VIII Image Processor prevents image blur caused by subject movement for greater shooting flexibility. To customize your final file size, both a 50 MP Mode and a 25 MP Mode are available.

ADVANCED SHOOTING MODES

Silent Mode completely eliminates shutter noise and all electronic sounds, perfect for quiet environments. With the Live Composite and Live Bulb Modes, you’ll shoot beautiful nighttime photos as you watch the image build up on the monitor, giving you freedom of exposure adjustment. For sharp macro photos with large depths of field, Focus Stacking automatically takes several shots with varying focal points and composites them into a single image.

LIGHTWEIGHT WEATHERPROOF DESIGN

Whether you’re taking to the streets, traveling the world, or working in the studio, the E-M1 Mark II is built to keep you capturing great shots without worrying about your gear. Combined with M.Zuiko PRO lenses, the E-M1 Mark II is more compact and lightweight than DSLRs, providing comfortable shooting with more freedom - even allowing for handheld super-telephoto photography. The metal body provides outstanding grip and is hermetically sealed to be splashproof, dustproof, and freezeproof down to 14°F (-10°C), so you can take advantage of every photo opportunity in any environment.

OM-D E-M1 Mark II Awards

"Its blazing dual quad-core processors allow for 60 fps burst shooting (18 fps w/continuous autofocus) and ridiculously fast image playback. Combine that with one of the most advanced autofocus systems we've seen and 5-axis in-body image stabilization – along with what made the original so impressive – and the Mark II is a force to be reckoned with." - DPReview.com

“Its sequential shooting performance exceeds that of single-lens reflex cameras, with the maximum fps at 18 in continuous AF/AE tracking and even 60 fps in single AF/AE on the silent sequential shooting mode.”

As long time amateurs we wanted to move up to a more feature rich interchangeable lens camera - after reading many reviews and researching numerous websites we settled on the Olympus OM-D EM 1 MkII. I must say while the reviews and ad copy were accurate they really can't do justice to the current OM-D system with M.Zuiko PRO lenses. They are in a class by themselves when you factor in price and ease of use!

I have been a working photographer for over forty years using Nikon cameras. I always subscribed to the mentality that bigger is better on all levels and never looked seriously at the alternatives - boy was I WRONG! I was introduced to Olympus by some fellow YouTube photographers and decided to rent an E-M1 Mark II and a few of the Pro lenses to test it out. This camera has exceeded my expectations at every level. The ergonomics of the Olympus design are excellent - everything is simply where "it should be". The build quality is awesome. For its small size this camera is solid and feels every bit a pro camera and the image quality is superb! I proudly own two Mark II bodies and a full complement of Zuiko Pro lenses and can confidently say that I will be an Olympus user for the rest of my career.

Is it cheating to comment on the EM 1? I hope not. I have owned it now for about a year, and am currently using a Pentax K1 along side it. And what I have to add to the other reviews is this - the OMD EM 1 (even my older version) gives up nothing to the full frame 36 megapixel K1. With Luminance set to about 20 in Lightroom the small disparity in noise disappears, and at anything less than 200% magnification you cannot tell one from the other, a remarkable achievement for a 4/3 lens I think.
